Now ladies and gentlemen...here is a true Pontiac's version of the Nova. So lets stop calling "Acadians" by the brand of "Pontiac's":

Very nice car , CanadianNova!!! A 37 year old car, no matter what brand, it's still hard to make it look this good without dedication. :yes:

If it was a V8, it would have been the Chevy 307. It would also have the Chevy 8.2" rear. In 72 and later they had Pontiac power. I have one

I'm not sure what this car has to do with a Nova, other than it shared some sheet metal. This car was sold by a Pontiac dealer, it probably was assembled in the U.S. and imported to Canada. My guess is the original motor was a Pontiac 350 or a Chevy 6 cyl.
Either way it is not an Acadian and should not be confused with the Acadian line of cars.

your right...maybe i should join a chevelle site.
